National Rounds 1 & 2, Mt Taylor & Canberra I won’t go into detail, as I have already reported on these races. Let’s just say, I had a perfect start to the Season with 2 wins from 2 races J National Rounds 3 & 4, Pemberton, WA The trip to Pemberton WA is an epic […]
While I sit on board a plane to WA for Round’s 3 and 4 of the National Series, I thought it about time I write a blog post on the first couple of rounds! So far this season has been a successful one with 2 wins from 2 in the national series as well as […]
The Hellfire Cup Stage Race is definitely one of my favorite events of the year. This time round I was lining up alongside Karen Hill, whom I coach and who is fast developing into one of Australia’s top female mtbikers. Karen and I train quite a bit together and I was looking forward to smashing […]
After 15 years of racing my mountain bike, I have never been more excited to start a summer Season of competition than this year. My enthusiasm for continuing to push the body to the limits had definitely dwindled toward the finish of last year’s domestic Season. Retirement from my own racing and perhaps solely concentrating […]
The 2014-15 National Cross Country Season is now done and dusted. Of course there is always room for improvement, but all things considered I can’t be happier with the consistency of each round and a 3rd place in the Overall Series. Here is a little Re-cap of the Series Rounds: NATIONAL ROUND 1 YOU […]

As much as I tried to avoid, with olive leaf gargling and plenty of antioxidant ingestion, I inevitably came down with the virus. Which one of […]
11/3/14 I’m not sure if it’s a sign of my age, but this year’s National Mountain Bike Champs seemed to come around very quickly. It only seems like yesterday that we were lining up on the start line out at Stromlo in Canberra. This year’s champs were held in the picturesque location of Bright in […]
2/3/14 NATIONAL RND 2; Mt Buller Following my unexpected win in Adelaide, I was a touch more nervous leading into National Round 2 as the pressure was on to retain the leaders jersey. I was lucky enough to only have a 2.5hr drive to this 2nd round in Mt Buller and chose just to drive […]
1/2/14 Having won last week’s first Round of the National Series, I was definitely amped for the challenge of defending the title in this year’s Wildside Stage Race event. With local Tasmanian favorite Rowena Fry, Perth power-house Jo Bennett and SA’s up and comer Terri Rhodes in the mix, I knew that the competition […]
